I don't because I usually make several goodies in one baking session during the holidays.

Oh I do it too. I’m often preoccupied and would put things in twice.

You are my people!

Actually, I’m doing laundry and cleaning the house at the same time.

My Mother taught me that way, I also clean as I go, so after the meal all there is to clean is the plates/ utensils🤗

I do when baking. I measure out the ingredients and line them up in the order shown in the recipe. It saves time and I find it makes for a calm and orderly work space. I also ignore the teasing from my family who think I'm crazy.

I definitely do! My mother, a wonderful baker, taught me that many years ago!

I bake professionally and after I muse en place I put away because I like a clean workstation and also if I put it away it’s a reminder that I have used that ingredient and have not forgotten it.

I gather all the ingredients, measure them out and put them all away. Then I organize them into the order I will use them then begin cooking. This is the only way I have managed to cook without forgetting to add an ingredient and it also means I don’t have to be constantly rereading the instructions. So, nope, you’re not anal…I definitely am but I plead old age and lots of cooking errors/disasters.

I put the ingredients away as I use them AND wash each dish and pan as I finish with it. The other day, I made a batch of meatballs, put everything away, then made a meatloaf so it all came out again!
